Table Mountain Iac,s,a.

Mr.. ED1roR:-On last "Wednesday
night we had q splendid rain which
was beginning to be needed. Wheat
has all been nicely harvested and
stored away. The yield was very
good. Cotton is also very good, per
hops never better SO taking all in
all the prospects for the farmers are
very encouraging.
Last but not least, on tire evening
of the Oath inst it was my happy lot
to attend the closing exercises of
Miss Laura Ellis school. The pro-
gram of the exercises was Us follows:
Miss Mary Loopcr, Essay on Flow
crs, which was very entertaining and
reflected credit upon it's author.
Miss Lizzie Keith, Essay on Kind
ness, which WAS simply grand and
did its author much honor.
Miss Emma Hendricks, Essay on
School Days which was complimcnted
by all.
Miss Lizzie II ndricEs, Essay on
Good Nnmo, which was real interest
ing and did its author great honor.
Miss, Emma Jones, Essay on Vaca-
ton; all things considered perhaps it
never WAS cXcellcd.
Dialogue Joseph Hendricks and
Sidney Edcns. The little fellows did
exceedingly we'll.
DialoGuc--Thc Young Critics, En-
ma Hendricks, Sallic Edens, Emma
Jones and Walter Hester.
Dialoguo-Tho Unhappy Girl, Ma
ry Loopcr and Lizzie Hendricks.
This part Of the exercises perhaps
never was surpassed.

Selecting Teachers.

The duty of selecting teachers for
the public schools in each township
devolves upon the township trustees.
This is wise provision. The Board
of Examiners try to appoint discrete
men to that Office These officers gener-
ally consult the patrons OF the school,
Thus the measure of the trustees re
sponsibility is somewhat divided.
When n teacher's fitness has been
passed upon by the Board of EHami-
nors and that Of the trustees, it is
generally presumed that he is all
right, but experience shows that the
presumption is sometimes wrong.
This is due to tho fact that proper
Investigations have not been made.
We wcro forcijly impressed with the
Justice Of criticism Of parents, made
Nv Judge Cothran in his recent adj
dress Mt the commencement of the f.
male College at Greenwood. IF n
man has fine colt to be trained, he
places it in the care OF the most cau
tious, competent and experienced
trainer he can find If tho race course
is five or ten miles Distant he will be
often there to consult the manager,
anNiously noting the progress and de-
volOpment of the animal. Does he
go to the academy, or the college, to
look after the welfare and training of
his child? Yet, what is his affection
for ono, compared to that fer the otE
er?' Do the patrons of schools have
the ultimate good of their children at
heart, when they advise with the trus.
tees in regard to the teacher to be
employed? They would not deliver Il
valuable colt into the hands of man
unless they know he was reliable and
capable, yet they will try experiments
with their children. There is more
danger Of child being irrcparably
injured by bad teacher than colt.
Reflect for q moment. Many blots
have been made upon society by teach
ers who had little, or no regard for
morality and religion. Who that
bends the kneo at the shrine Of rcli-
gion has not been shocked by such
disregard of parental and official re-
sponsibility? The child who is dear
er to it's parents than life itself, is
daily subjected to the influence of IN
unknown quantity. What is the re-
suit? The poison works, but it works
slowly. When the expectation Of the
father and mother is the highest, it
goes out like a meteor. Their hearts
are wrung with disappointment. Their
hopes were based upon foundation
ieid by uusonctiiied hands of their
Cwn choosing. When their tOttcring
steps need Ea stay there is mono.
When those that look ont of the Win
dOws are darkcncd, there is mono to
light their pathway, and their gray
hairs ere brought down in sorrow to
the G. rve.
No amount Of homo care can Offset
tho bad influence Of tcachcrs pre-
copt OF example. There are plenty Of
good teachers, employ them, or, close
the "school house that ntands upon
the hill"

The SValhaIla Tronblc.

Thc Walhalla TrOmb5c.
The libel posted in or ncighor
town; West Union, is the bnsc3t and
most mendacious publication ever put
on paper. It is u stain on civilian
ton and common dcccncv, which all
should scckto wipe out In tho mum.
bcr and rNimi ,"arhablc chnractcr of
tho parties assal"d, male and female.
1T has no parallel in the history Of
SIandCr in any country. IT is Il dis
grace to our community, to our coun.
ty, to 0ur State, nay to humanity,
which can only be wiped ont by the
discovery and punishment of the par
ties guilty, whoever they be. The
burning is mere matter Of property.
except III SO far as it is the offspring
Of tho same dcmoNiac spirit which
connected and hatchclthe libel. Thus
far, apart from the crime of the bur
ming, the discovery of the libclous pal,.
ties becomes douhlv important.
The facts SO far developed in the
libel and burning cases here show
there is now and has been for two nI,
more years band OF Jewellers, social
lists, anarchists, lrhilists, or whntcvcr
you may call thrm, who, REGARDLESS of
life, property or character, arc deter.
mined 20 have sway. Shall we sit or
stand idly by and permit such a den
OF devils in human shapo to- live in
our midst! Such a course would ONLY
encourage and agMravato The wravcst
evils. Let us all, then, be ND and
DONG. that greater evils than those
sustained may be avoided If the
parties i'll jail hc the guilty ones, Let
us Labor to fix guilt upon them be-
vond apcradvcnturr. If thcv be in
noccnt it is usticc to them and the
community to discover the guilty par
ties and release the Innocent This
is our plain duty, for no one can fccl
secure III property or in fair fame IN
til these crimes have been fcrrcttcd
out.
Ii i" firmly fixed in the public mind
that the parties who wruic or pro
cured the writing. or who posted ol.
procured the posting OF thr libclous
letters in West Union, are the nar
ties who applied the torch IN person
or through others to the law Offices in
Nalhall0. The evidence to this point
grows stronger each day, and NAV
now @ said to be reasonably com
plctc. Here ere two oticnsc9, one af
fccting the foundntion of our social
system, the other the rights Of prop
crty, traced nationally to the same
parties. Should not the state, the
town and individuals not only labor
through volunteer agents to find tho
guilty puIiivs, but also procure the
agency of detective to discover and
convict them? Who will say nay?
We have suffered in property, but arc
